Print Styles Window

Use this window to define print styles. A print style describes how your report should be printed. For example, print style determines the:

Number of lines per page

Width of each line

Page orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape)

Oracle Applications reports are designed to work with standard, shipped print styles. The following print styles are predefined:

Portrait

Landscape

Landwide

Dynamic Portrait

Not all reports work with all print styles. You may define additional print styles to customize your reports.

Once defined, a print style cannot be deleted.

Print Styles Block

Define a print style. The combination of Name and User Name uniquely identifies a print style.

Attention: You should issue a Restart concurrent manager command for all currently active managers whenever you edit an existing Printer Type, Print Style, or Printer Driver.

See: Controlling Concurrent Managers.

Sequence

Enter a number that determines the display sequence for your print style when performing a query in this window. A negative sequence number appears before zero, and zero appears before a positive sequence number.

Name

Multiple print styles display alphabetically in a list window according to their Name (not User Name).

You cannot update a print style's name.

User Name

This user name does not appear anywhere except this window.

Suppress Header Flag

Reports may print with a header page that indicates who requested the report and when. Check the Supress Header Flag check box to define a print style that suppresses printing of this header page.

For example, suppressing the header page when printing checks prevents a check from being overwritten and maintains the orderly sequence of check numbers.

Driver

Enter the name of the Oracle Reports (SRW) driver to be called when printing an applications report generated by Oracle Reports. This field is used only by applications reports generated by Oracle Reports.
